22 January 2009

It was beyond my imagination someone actually willing to take a snapshot of the FC3S during our run on the track day. Plus, it was from someone related with quite-well-known automotive blog. So the result is this:

19 January 2009

It was fun, it was exciting, it was heart-throbbing, it was nerve-wrecking, it was adrenaline-pumping, but basically, it was FUCKING AWESOME xD

A furious Civic on the loose

Pit Stop =D

The last word basically sums up all the excitement we had during the open track day at the Sepang F1 Circuit that was held on 18th January 2009. It was a new level of experience (the Final Fantasy’s fanfare should be the background music here =p ) for both Keisuke and me in term of the art of suicidal racing (because that what we always do xD )

350z a.k.a Fairlady

The younger brother, FD3S

The day started when Keisuke called and invited me for the track day. Oh well, I got nothing to do (but actually I need to clean my room though >.>), so might as well tag along =) As we went along, finally we arrived at the entrance. To our surprise, the entrance fee is not like what our mechanic said, RM100 for a car and RM10 for each driver, but it was a staggering RM200 per driver >.< So rich man of the day, Keisuke paid for his hell-ride ticket =p

Altezza belongs to Hau's friend

Imprezza yummy!

Nevertheless, the atmosphere is not really welcoming us. The super hot weather, plus seeing a lot of highly tuned and pimped cars all around us really smashing our motivation piece by piece as the FC3S is just a PIECE OF JUNK compared to others xDDD Anyway, it was first time we are there, so better make the RM200 spent worth >.>

S2000 and Civic Type-R

S14

The first mission, find our mechanic, Hau, failed as he seemed didn’t picking up the phone. Second mission, find a pit garage area so we can put the FC3S, but all garage occupied by other teams >.< Third mission, don’t care anymore, we want to get into the track, but WHERE THE HECK IS THE WAY TO THE PIT LANE? x_x We took the car wandering around until Keisuke thought that at the end of the pit area, there should be a road that we can enter the pit lane. Thank God, his animal instinct sometimes can be useful too =p

Waiting for the green light again

Bimmer also don't want to miss the fun

So the moment of truth, we slowly drive through the pit lane to the exit. Everyone was like looking at us with face expression “WHAT THE FUGLY CAR IS THAT?” xD (due to FC3S is currently having quite plenty of color theme =p ). But upon reaching the end, it turned out that the lights are RED, meaning that there has been an accident and they are cleaning the track right now. No choice but have to wait under the scorching sun while the FC3S’s oil temperature slowly increasing to 100 degree Celsius x_x

Seriously, too many Imprezza

The Godzilla by Nissan

The V-tec won't lose either

Finally, the moment of we have been waiting for, the GREEN LIGHT xD So off we go carve a new history in the circuit =p As a total Uber Noob with the track, we decided to drove slowly in order to learn about the track. But it turned out was a completely bad idea as people overtook us like no tomorrow >.< To add more salt to the wound, everyone were damn fast except us which leads to us having mental breakdown and inferiority complex and want to go back home immediately! xD Plus, thanks to Keisuke was driving not in the normal racing line, we took every corner horribly and received the full treatment of the side-G xD

The yummy arse lol

The Godzilla ain't stop multiplying

Anyway, after a few rounds, we managed to get used to the Sepang track. Finally, we can smoked a few cars and proud of the tiny puny achievement we made xD But still, we simply can’t beat the Imprezza and cars with higher REV limit during the straight line =.= Lastly, the mother of all disaster, the Godzilla, the new Nissan Skyline GTR (a.k.a R35) was simply the GOD of the track day, being unbeatable in every aspect, while taking corners while other cars just standing still =.=

Lets zoom into that sexy arse baby, hahahaha

The 'senior' won't give up without a fight

R34 M-Spec Nur

Well anyway, we continued to enjoy our fun ride in the track. Everyone there came there prepared (spare tyre, mechanics, car jacks, and etc…) compared to us who came only bring the car, wallet, and our gut xD Seriously, next time, we at least need to bring some water!!! Because in the end, both of us were dehydrated x__x

Simply untouchable, overtook everyone like nobody business and smoked them hard *respect*

Nevertheless, it was a fun experience doing it on the real track as the track is much wider than normal road during touge session, meaning more room to correct mistakes. Even Keisuke took the chance to getting used on how the FC3S behave during power-over drift. Oh yeah, basically we are drifting all over the track due to improper car setting. Oh hell, like we care =p Thanks to that, every car got scared to overtake us during cornering because anytime we can go haywire xD

Lastly, for those out there, make sure to take this advice, make sure you use the racing line properly, or…You will suffer the excessive dosage of G in each corner like me in the first round xD

# Love cars# about to buy his first car lol# handsome?# Romantic (yes u may puke now =p )# Got no gf, maybe haha# don't have too much time to enjoy anime and jdrama# working already now# waiting for the boss to raise his salary again# speed demon =p# miss his fluffy bed and pillows at home when in the office haha

03 January 2009

Happy New Year 2009, Happy Muslim New Year 1430, and Merry Christmas (hopefully I didn’t left out anything .>) Sorry that I haven’t been updating my blog, busy with my career life lolz. Anyway, this will be a bit flashback from the recent 2008 that I haven’t mention in my entries.

First of all, I managed to finish my bachelor course peacefully without repeating any papers xD The result also quite okay, beyond what I targeted in the first place, a 3rd class haha.

My overall result, Second Class Honours First Division, which equal to 3.0 - 3.5 CGPA, so I guess it was ok since in 3rd year i kind of lost motivation =p

Soon right after, I was immediately hired (thanks to the Lady Luck lol) by a private company, Big Band Sdn Bhd. My job basically involves servers, internets, networking, and data centers. But I guess I’ll write more details about my job later in other entry =p

My company's logo

Oh yea, I bought myself a life insurance plus investment. A free advice for the readers out there, I recommend to get a life insurance plus with the medical care coverage. Nowadays life is not as healthy as our parents used to live, and now younger people are diagnosed with critical illness. To make it worse, medical fees are not cheap as you can imagine plus the high living cost each year. Although government hospitals are cheap a bit, but you need to queue even you got critical illness. Bad case scenario, you’ll die even before reaching your turn to do operation >.>

I signed up with Prudential, life + investment insurance plan

As for the Christmas, I got a present from Jenny =D A heartfelt thanks to her for sending the gift all the way from Singapore (P/s to Jenny: your writing a bit bad =p )

The package

It is the One Piece poker deck card =D

Placed it underneath the monitor =)

Message to stamp collectors (if they still exist xD ), Singapore stamps up for grabs

As usual, the new released 2009 Honda City kind of caught my attention. So without further delay, my friends and I went to the Honda showroom for a closer look of the 2009 Honda City. Below are some pictures we taken during the showroom-mad-dash event =p

That's all. How is your comment about the car? =)

Anyway, I got a few more things to write, but too less time in hand =( I guess I just write one by one slowly if time permits me to do it. 2008 was a big wave event in my life, having a few big roundabout changes in my life. Whether I regret or glad, that shall not be even in my head as what I need to focus now is tomorrow and the future beyond. What has passed, let it remain as the guidance for the future =)

So let’s call it a day for now. Almost 4am and I need sleep =p Until the next entry.
